Back in August, Valve released the latest extension to its Counter-Strike franchise, Global Offensive. To mark the occasion, SteelSeries issued a trio of branded gaming products; Siberia V2 headset, Kana mouse and QcK mousepad.

Good headphones

Comfortable

Of all the evils that have befallen the the idea of good, mobile music quality, Dr Dre and his ‘Beats' headphones are arguably the worst. Too often these days we're seeing the wildly bass-heavy influence of the Beats range in all headphones, but – thankfully – the Siberia V2s resist the urge.

When the PC first stepped away from the beige box and into the world of multiple colour possibilities, the peripheral market was the slowest to take up the challenge of providing hardware that matched your tower.
